Just a month in to its release Nokia 5530 is making headlines and going strong. This is very much a touch-screen phone which doesn’t carry a hefty price tag, and hence suits the average phone junkie. The following are its glaring features:
-
Network: Quad-band GSM
-
Dimensions: 104 x 49 x 13 mm
-
Weight: 107 grams
-
TFT Resistive touch-screen, 16 M colors

The phone is available in 5 colors to choose from. It is enclosed in a stainless steel body and is a sleek beauty. This is not a 3G phone, the addition of Wi-Fi is a welcome feature, something which the Samsung phones in the GSM category lack. Symbian OS means OVI connectivity is supported. Its price is also attractive at around $250. The built-in music support means it is generally targeted towards the younger audience. Not a bad phone by any standard.
